A Note from Ms. Hewitt:
In ESL we are finishing our study of Christmas in other countries. We will read two books this week about holidays celebrated around the world, and the history and origin of the Christmas tree. Students will demonstrate their knowledge of these two books by playing Gimkit and writing a response in google forms.
A Note from Mr. Webster in the Design and Modeling Lab:
6th graders have pulled out all the stops in developing skimmers with all kinds of features. Some have 4, 5, and even 6 “wings”. Some even have bunny faces and fiery paint jobs.
We discussed dependent and independent variables and the kids are looking forward to race day 2.0.
As a team, we have implemented an IXL challenge for the students. As they successfully master skills on IXL, they are keeping track of them on a recording sheet. For every 25 skills mastered, students have the opportunity to choose a prize from the IXL Prize Bin in their homeroom. Each classroom has some prizes in their bin already, but we could really use some help to add to the rewards. If you would be willing to contribute some prizes, it would be greatly appreciated.
Suggested prizes: candy, small trinkets and fidgets, special pens and pencils, stickers, stress balls, etc
